Papelbon 'sore', but steady

Yeah. Delcarmen behind Paplebon is a very scary thought. He is clearly, next to Timlin, the worst pitcher in the bullbpen. I am talking about Manny Delcarmen. I hope that Papelbon will be ready for tomorrow.

Game Seven: ALL HANDS ON DECK.

through
=threw

Where are the editors checking for missing words and spelling errors -- at least in the first two paragraphs?

I was shocked when I looked at the gun after the first pitch he threw last night and saw 90. Paps scares me because he throws fastball after fastball, and the Ray hitters know that. If we need him for game 7, I hope he can hold them off.

Manny Delcarmen, warming up behind Papelbon before the closer even through a pitch,

THROUGH a pitch?? Really?? and you call writing your living? thats a joke "Mazz"

largely as the result of having pitched two innings the Sox’ extraordinary comeback in Game 5.

AGAIN! I know it was a late game but come one buddy. Get it together.

``I didn’t look at the radar gun, but, [expletive], it felt like I was throwing 85 miles an hour,’’ an exhausted Papelbon following his performance in Game 6

how about an exahausted Papelbon "SAID". Im a college student as you can tell by my emails and reading your colums make me realize that I can have a very bright future ahead of me. Maybe I'll apply over at the Globe once I graduate so that I can get paid to halfass my job too.

@Tony C. - Hey kid, lay off the picking on grammar and stuff. We know you are a bright 'college student'. This is a blog, for crying out loud. You make me sick.

Jeez, guys. It's the wee hours. Cut him a break.

Let's hope Pap's okay.

@Tony C: "AGAIN! I know it was a late game but come one buddy."

Come one? Jeez, Tony C, focusing on the right stuff this morning, aren't you?

Game Seven is on!! Good job Josh, good job Tek! (Good job Mazz.)

Ease-up...it's a friggin' blog which means web log or loosley translated stream of thoughts in the moment, so use your grammar lessons and dictionary on the more formal articles that are submitted and placed by the editor.

Tony C, you are a big nerd. Relax and enjoy the win.

Tony C.: If you are going to criticize other people for the quality of their work, perhaps you should double-check yours before submission.

"AGAIN! I know it was a late game but come one buddy. Get it together." (come one?) Maybe you meant " come on?"

"reading your colums make" (colums?) Did you intend to type "columns?"

One doesn't build himself up by tearing another down. Ask John McCain how that is working for him.

umm...Tony C...

1. Capital "H" on your seccond paragraph.
2. It's "I am " or "I'm", not Im on that first sentence in the second paragraph.
3. It's "columns", not "colums"
4. It's half-ass, not halfass...just like your posts.
Geez.

Beckett's performance was a hell of a lot better than he's given credit here for 5 innings/ 2 runs...ok not beckettesque, but still damn good. Kept us in the game and thats all that counts. I'll take it. the "W" goes to Josh. Nice work Sox, one more to get us there.

Guys, please. We demand a 24x7 information world where full articles are written 20 seconds after a win and then criticize spelling. Get a life. Go Sox!

Another missing word - should be "isn't the only ONE" in the first sentence:

"Apparently, Josh Beckett isn't the only feeling the effects of a grueling major league season. Jonathan Papelbon is, too."

ok ok, Mazz submitted this story at 12:54am, when you all were drunk. Ease up a bit and enjoy the game AND the writing.
Sheesh.

Still missing the 7th word in the lead sentence. How about "pitcher"?

This group copyediting game is a refreshing change of pace from nit-picking about comments!

Apparently certain frustrated English majors have difficulty sleeping at night; not about Papelbon's lost velocity but Tony Massarotti's loss of command . Now can anyone explain the difference between a dangling participle and a hanging curve ball?

Tony C--

It should be "SAID." The period goes inside the quotes.
You need an apostrophe in "Im."
You need a comma after "emails" and maybe after "student."
"Colums" should be spelled "columns."
It should be "makes." Not "make."
:P

why would'nt Francona have people warming up even when Pap was on the mound in the 9th? If anything was to happen, the Sox are going home. You got to expect the best and be ready for the worst.

Tonight anyone and everyone can and will pitch, even if it is one batter.

LET GO SOX!!!!!

relac Toni C
Mazz has a job and u dont. jealiousy is a horrable traet.

WOW!! Tough room,Mazz....but then,neither you nor your peers knows the difference between "less" and "fewer",as evidenced by TV and radio gigs!!Maybe you should all go back to journalism 101>

Clearly, Mazz isn't a very good writer OR a Radio Analyst.
This essay would earn a "C" grade in a 7th grade English class.
He has alienated many Pats and Sox fans.

He must have taken a HUGE paycut to land at the Globe after being jettisoned by the Herald.

As Tommy Heison once said: "He should go home cuz nobody here loves him!"

Mazz stinks and if you ask him, he will only tell you how much he hates fans, his readers and insult you.

we need to win by 7 runs tonight to rest up paps....

Hey Tony C, get a life. This is a sports blog, not a writing class.

Hey Tony C., you might want to learn to spell "exhausted" before you start tossing stones from that glass house of yours.

Paps is a pro. He will be back out there tonight if needed. I think he is a great actor as well. He only wants the other team to believe he is down.

Mazz - is there a way of deleting Tony C's comments? How does this crap get put in there?

Tony,

The period would be inside the quotations if you ended the sentence after "said."
Don't try and make yourself look smart by calling out Massarotti. You are a loser.

Tony C the college student posted 3 times in a row to point out errors in mazz's writing. Tony C, however, believes run on sentences make for a great read. Seems to me Tony C needs to realize short and concise is better than long and pompous.

Tony C, when you apply for that job writing columns, just make sure you have mastered how to spell the word columns (colums ... haha). Good luck with the application process. I here (or is it "hear" ... I failed fifth-grade grammar, too) that the Globe editors are looking at your e-mails now and considering your candidacy for a copy editor position. Each comment of yours is a test. Joe C, I served with Mazz: I knew Mazz; Mazz was a friend of mine. Joe C, you're no Mazz.

All you spell checkers get a life.

Agreed, Murph. All you pink hats who have nothing better to do ought to find a hobby. And here's a newsflash--if you don't like someone's writing, DON'T READ IT!!!

There is no greater pitcher in MLB league than Jonathan Papalbon.
True fans celebrate every pitch throw at the speeds of the fire breathing dragon JP.
Papalbon's skills are not only the flame throw--he works the plate on both sides like a surgeon.
